Pearl stopped syncing Calendar, Storm will with Desktop 4.7

I just reformatted my computer and installed Windows XP Pro fresh on a new harddrive and have been loading software back in. I got around to our phones and I can't figure out what's up with my wife's Pearl.
I am running Windows XP Pro
Service Pack 3
We have two blackberries.
Mine: Storm running OS
4.7.0.148
Verizon
Wife: Pearl running OS
4.5.0.77
Verizon
I just downloaded Desktop Manager version fresh from this website:
4.7.0.37
The storm syncs just fine, but the pearl will not sync calendar. It will sync the address book just fine, but when it comes time to sync calendar, it waits on a blank screen then just "dings" like it's done. I check the logs of the pearl sync, and I can see in the log where it says
On 7/12/2009 8:02 PM
Synchronize Device Address Book with Microsoft Outlook Contacts
then at the end it says:
Translation successful.
There are no logs of an attempt to sync calendar, only Contacts (address book)
I have found a few post topics on this already doing a search in this forum. Most of the topics are not the same problems as this pearl phone. So if this is a duplicate post, sorry, but I didn't find it in searching....I did try several ideas in the posts I found:
One topic referrences and KB article on Blackberry, with four resolutions to try.
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB13801&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Resolution #1 was to repair the install: I tried that.
Resolution #2 doesn't apply to me, I am running Windows XP Pro
Resolution #3 was to redownload desktop manager from the web, and disable all virus scanners: I tried that.
Resolution #4 was to reset the configuration on the phone: I tried that too.
I rebooted my PC, I rebooted the pearl phone: None of the above have worked.
I disabled virus, and disabled firewalls, then tried to sync. Did not work....Keep in mind the Storm has no problems syncing either address books or calendar.
There was also referrence in the post to check and see if calendar can be viewed if you go to Advance in Backup/Restore. Yes I can see the database in the phone, I can see "calendar all" database on the phone side.
There is no error that is generated when this happens.
I have a desktop Video AVI file of this process, I captured the problem with a video, if you'd like to view it, please PM or e-mail me and I would be happy to share it with anyone that thinks they can help us.
Please keep in mind that I have a STORM blackberry, using the SAME PC, the SAME Blackberry desktop software.
The Storm will sync the address book and calendar just fine.
The Pearl will only sync the address book, but stops with no error when it comes to the calendar.
Before my Windows XP re-installation, both phones seem to be just fine. The only difference I know of is that I am running Service Pack 3 on the PC now and before the re-install of Windows XP, I was running Service Pack 2.
Anyone have any ideas?

The problem was my wife installed Facebook App for Blackberry:

Changed the calendar default to Outlook and not Facebook as Steve suggested in his blog, and this worked.
Please mark this post SOLVED.

Still unable to sync calendar from Outlook with iPhone 2.0.1 / 7.7.1.11

I have an older non-3G iPhone which worked fine on sync’ing with Outlook2007 running on my Vista laptop. Then the upgrades to 2.0 and 7.7 came through automatically, and ever since sync’ing just doesn’t work.....
Leaving aside all the problems that I’ve had over the past month, and the various suggested solutions that I’ve tried (all unsuccessfully), my current situation with 2.0.1 and 7.7.1.11 is that:
1. iTunes is currently set up so that it does not sync anything automatically on startup
2. But on starting iTunes with the iPhone on the USB port, the first thing I get is that “OutlookSyncClient has stopped working” (why? I’m not trying to sync anything yet – and I don’t use either MobileMe or Exchange)
3. Then if I go to the “info” tab for my iPhone, select “Sync Calendars with Outlook” and select “all calendars”,
4. When I select “apply”, the “all calendars” button is automatically de-selected, and the “selected calendars” button selected
5. But the “selected calendars” selection box is empty – so there is no calendar to select
6. Not surprisingly, the calendar on my iPhone is now empty
(I haven’t dared try sync’ing contacts yet – I’d be lost without my contacts on my phone).
Other info is that:
a) I use Microsoft Office Live Mail through Izymail (POP3 works OK through Wi-Fi, but has never worked over any other iPhone connection)
b) I’ve two calendars – one in my Personal Files PST and one in my Office Live Mail account (but iTunes doesn’t seem able to see either for selection)
c) My Outlook calendar is only held locally on my PC – not on my Office Live account
d) My Outlook uses some Add-ins – I’ve deleted all that I don’t need – the only third party one (other than the iTunes add-in) is for my Dymo label printer. The rest are shown as inactive.
e) My PST file is (now) a Unicode PST file
f) I’ve trid sync’ing both with and without “replace information on this iPhone”, and I’ve tried deleting the iTunes sync history, all without any improvement
Any/all suggestions are welcomed for trying to solve this (my suspicion is that if I can get iTunes to ‘see’ my Outlook calendars I could select one and it might sync OK?).
Many thanks in advance
Phil

I followed the procedure for iSync in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7477550&#7477550
Here is the procedure:
Move the SyncServices folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices to the desktop
Trash all the caches in ~/Library/Caches
Restart machine (with fingers crossed)

IPad stopped syncing calendar, contacts

I am not sure when it started, but my contacts and calendar are no longer synced to my iPad. My contacts on the iPad are completely blank and my calendar has a few dates that have been on the iMac calendar for a while but not all or even some that were in the calendar when the dates that do show up on the iPad were entered.
I have clicked the info tab, check sync contacts/all contacts, sync calendars/ all calendars. I then sync. It goes through a three step sync but nothing appears on the iPad. I have tried it with both the "advanced" items checked and unchecked.
This is a direct USB connection and a first generation iPad. I know it worked before, but have not paid attention to when it quit, so I do not know if this problem came when I switched ot the new iMac

This is horrifying. I just discovered this too. It seems that my iPad will not sync the Calendar with my Macbook unless I use iCloud, according to Apple's Help menu. Well, I don't use iCloud. I prefer to make it harder for the NSA to pry into my personal life.
But this is ridiculous. Why wouldn't Apple allow a sync through the USB cable. It's so simple. I just plug it in, and bingo, the sync and charging are done at the same time. Not to mention that by not using iCloud, I can leave the WiFi off, which is better for battery life, and better for one's health (if you believe the European studies which we North Americans conveniently ignore).
Sigh... you can see with these successive Apple updates that we are being literally corralled into the "control" house.

How to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book, how to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book

I have a Galaxy S2, gmail account, hotmail account and want to know the best way to be able to sync calendar and contacts from the Galaxy S2 with iCal and Address Book. I want to be able to make changes on any device and be able to sync the changes. Hotmail is my main email account and would prefer to use tha account but I know that the Galaxy prefers Google. Any ideas?

You have several ways to sync your phone to a mac.
You can use Samsung Kies for mac. You can download it here.
You can also use Google for it. Open Adress Book, click Adress Book on the left top of the screen, click Prefferences and open the Accounts tab. You'll see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox, click it, enter you mail and password and you are good to go.
On iCal go to Preferences (top left, click iCal to see it), open the Accounts Tab, you'll see a blank list on the left, at the bottom of it there is a "+" sign, click on it and select Google on the Account Type dropdown list, enter your account details and you are done.
Third way to do it is by using third party software such as SyncMate.
Hope any of these alternatives solve your problem!
(The iCal and Address Book instructions are for Snow Leopard, but it should be almost the same on Lion)

Hi
Thanks for your comment. Do you currently tether through your BB? I can get access to the internet to use my Outlook but when I try to sync by contacts and calendar, I am unable.
Is your set-up similar?

Outlook for Mac : Cannot sync calendars or contacts with ipad/iphone

I have looked at all the forums, product literature, etc and it seems that there is no way I can sync my calendars and contacts with Iphone/Ipad.. I know this is possible with Exchange or Microsoft Office 365 but I don't want to change my current sw. I am really frustrated.. Any clues?

No, the only online solution supported with Office for Mac is Microsoft Exchange.

ITunes stopping sync at every song with an error..

Got my iPhone back from repairs today and updated it to 5.0.1 and iTunes to the newest version as well, tried syncing all my music back on and EVERY TIME it finds a song which isn't on my HDD anymore or has an error it stops syncing.. what iTunes used to do was just skip them, and list them at the end.
This is really inconvienent as I'm syncing over 3000 songs onto my iPhone, so having to press 'Sync' after every 100 or so songs it gets really frustrating.. I was hoping I'd be able to just leave it syncing over night but guessing I'm gonna have to stay awake till it's done now, lol.
Any help fixing this?
Cheers.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

IPhone stopped syncing calendars

My phone stopped syncing items created on the phone with my powerbook, and my mac.com sync.
I selected the 'replace all info' option but got no response, the calenders on the phone stayed the same.
thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks!
That seemed to work and everything has synced correctly.
yeah!

Can't Sync Calendar and Contacts with Outlook 2007

I have an iPhone and I usually sync my calendar and contacts with my Outlook 2007. But since a few days wherever I change or add a new information (PC or iPhone) it doesn't sync. Nothing changes in any device. No error is displayed. Does someone know what can be possibly happening, since it has worked perfectly since 2009? I have tried to remove the calendars and add it again and didn't have success.
Thanks.

Open Microsoft Outlook. Go to Tools > Options, then in the "Other" tab. Check the box next to " Make Outlook the default program for mail , contacts and calendar. Confirm by clicking OK.

HELP !! My ipad mini and iphone 5 just stopped syncing calendar with outlook 2007 calendar.

All apple devices are at current OS levels and no changes have been made except to calendar entries. I recently added a bunch of new appointments to outlook and then used my ipad to insert an appointment that was sent to me by email from american airlines. I have done a hard boot (held done the off button till dark) on both devices. I have checked my sync settings in itunes - set to sync all calendars. I have tried both iphone 5 and ipad mini using the automatic sync when device is attached and also by hitting the sync button in itunes. I do not use the icloud, but both devices backup to my windows 7 computer. Calendar is my most important app, as I use it to keep my day organized and to make it to appointments. Not being able to sync is a disaster. Need help, can't think of what else to try.

More - Information - Also tried the advanced setting to replace the ipad calendar with the outlook calendar - did not work and ran the Diagnostic test for sync and no errors found - says it works. Extremely frustrated.

Centro won't Hotsync Calendar and Contacts with desktop

Here's my problem. I hotsync, but my Calendar and Contacts don't transfer to or from the handheld to the desktop. I'm using a Palm Centro and trying to sync with Palm Desktop 4.2.1 on a MacBook running MacOS 10.4.11.
I already tried a complete restart of my Centro, erasing all user data. I then hotsynced it and it restored from the backup on my MacBook, but this did not fix the problem. It restored my contacts and all my apps to their prior status, but I lost all the Calendar data in my Centro. I still have the data on the MacBook from whenever it was just before it stopped synching correctly.
The log proposes that I run the Contacts and Calendar applications and then run a hotsync. I did that, but no results. I still get the same stuff in the log.
Please help.

This may be dumb, but I did not think to look for this until i called Palm for help...
After I had issues syncing, I re-installed the Palm software..when you do that, it sometimes turns off the ability to sync. To confirm that you have the ability to sync, open Palm Desktop and go to Hotsync --> Setup, and check the HotSync Controls to see if it is "Enabled"
Also, if you have problems syncing with Entourage...try this...

Sync ACT to handheld with "Desktop overwrites handheld"

I need to perform a "Desktop overwrites handheld" to overwrite my ACT contact info on my Palm Vx handheld, but can't find anywhere in HotSync where it states "Desktop overwrites handheld". Can someone please tell me where I need to find that option? I am unable to bring my new and ongoing ACT info over to my handheld. Thank you for any help. - Barry

I am about to have the same issue. I have been using an 8703e that I have been syncing with my laptop at work and my laptop at home.
I just bought the 9630 Tour and I am going to be set up on the BES at work. But I still want to be able to sync my outlook contacts and calendar with my personal laptop.

My phone will not stop syncing. It will not stop copying items.

I can leave it for hours and hours but the sync will never stop, getting stuck on Step 8 "copying items". What do I do? I updated my software to iOS6 as I thought that might help but it is still doing it.
It is a iphone 4.
I am afraid that if I restore it I will lose everything.
Any help?
Thanks so much!

I have the same issue with my 4S! I hope someone can help us!!

How do I sync calendars on iPhone with my Mac

I'm trying to sync my calendar info from my iPhone 5 (OS 7.0.4) with my Mac (OS 10.9) Calendar application (7.0).
I was syncing through iTunes, but I'm told I now need to use iCloud. How is this done? All of my up-to-date info is on my iPhone, so I want to make sure that stays as is.
Thanks

Name,
I find iCloud convenient and reliable for Calendar syncing. Since you appear to have the required equipment and software, I recommend that you consider using it.
If security of your data is a concern read:
1. iCloud: iCloud security and privacy overview.
2. How secure is iCloud? | Macworld.
Setting up iCloud is best described by reading:
1. iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices.
2. Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
